Three weeks of gluten. I'm a hot mess. Mostly neuro symptoms. brain fog is brutal. Achy body, headache, fatigue. My attention span is worse than a 18 mo old. Can't stay awake to save my life. Crazy sounds coming from my mid section and I have these weird bumps behind my ears and on my face. I look 6 mo pregnant. gahhhhhhh. Need to hold on, only 7 more days before i see the GI. I can do this. I can do this!

Tell me I can do this. :)

Ooooh, you're close to that finish line!  Hang in there. Mybe try eating your gluten in the evening so it doesn't wreck your day... just your night. :huh:  In the final stretch, it's time to enjoy those last "glutenous" treats. A Blizzard with oreos, beer, cinnamon buns, and picking any food off a menu without worrying... Choose foods that almost make the pain worth it.

 

You can do it.  :)

You can do it, nearly there.

At least there is no question in your mind whether gluten is a problem :):(

I might duck just in case that wasn't helpful....

Lol you're lucky I don't have the strength to throw anything dangerous. Jk! But you are absolutely right, there is no question in my mind, gluten and I don't get along!

Well, I think it's clear to US  you are gluten intolerant (if not a full blown celiac) and I hope your doctor is wise enough to see it too.

No matter what the tests say, your body screams a primal scream of  "GLUTEN BAD!!!" :angry:

 

Hang in there, hon. I still have my pom poms:

You can do it! You can't give up now, or the last three weeks of feeling like crap would have been pointless.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.
